Meet The New PNAC

January 19th, 2007 by Andy in America: Republic or Empire?

Its “Project For The New American Century 2.0.” This time they are calling it the Foundation For Defence of Democracies. Here are some of the featured members of it’s star-studded batting line up (though I imagine Dr. Kirkpatrick isn’t making many board meetings these days)….

Board of Directors
Steve Forbes
Dr. Jeane J. Kirkpatrick
Jack Kemp

Distinguished Advisors
Judge Louis J. Freeh
Fmr. Director of the FBI
Sen. Joseph Lieberman
Newt Gingrich
R. James Woolsey

Board of Advisors
Gary Bauer
Bill Kristol
Donna Brazile
Hon. Richard D. Lamm
Rep. Eric Cantor
Rep. Jim Marshall
Rep. Eliot Engel
Sen. Zell Miller
Frank Gaffney
Richard Perle
Amb. Marc Ginsberg
Steven Pomerantz
Charles Jacobs
Sen. Charles E. Schumer
Charles Krauthammer

Of course, it would help to legitimize their endeavor if there were actually some bonafide legitimate working democracies in existence, particularly one here in the United States. But hey, why quibble over details? Not to say that there are not certain elements of democratic processes functioning within various states around the world, but to call any of them actual democracies is a stretch. It would also help if any of these people listed actually had a record of fighting for establishing and defending democratic rights and practices at home before leading a crusade to institute them elsewhere.
